If there are still news stories about Dan Quayle misspelling "Potato," why won't this get any coverage by the media?
More than a decade after he left office, former Vice President still faces criticism for misspelling the word "potato," though there is little discussion that the word was spelling incorrectly before he spelled it. In any case, where is the news coverage of Obama not being able to correctly identify the number of states? Obviously, Obama made a mistake, but so did Dan Quayle.
Amazed how lucky I am that I have had jobs where I could just think about whatever I wanted to think about.
Last summer I moved to the University of Maryland. Previously I held positions at the University of Chicago, Yale University, Stanford, UCLA, Wharton, and Rice and was the chief economist at the United States Sentencing Commission during 1988 and 1989. I have published over 90 articles in academic journals. I received my Ph.D. in economics from UCLA in 1984.
Born in Detroit, I spent a lot of time with my grandparents in Miami, Florida before moving to Miami at the end of junior high. Otherwise I have lived all across the country from Nashville to LA to Texas to Montana to Northern California back to Texas to Maryland back to LA to Pennsylvania to Illinois to New Haven to DC to New York back to the DC area.
